Plot: Through the death of her father, Caroline McKay comes into ownership of the McKay Stage Line, running between Prescott and Chino, Arizona. She is unaware that her uncle, Charles Lait, who runs the line for her, is secretly plotting with Dude Elliott to force her to sell out at a low figure. Elliott henchman Pete Branagan, while Caroline is a passenger, holds up the stage and attempts to take the mail, but the hold-up is foiled when Dan Clark, a postal inspector on the way to Chino, rides up and drives off the bandit. Caroline offers Dan a job as a driver, not knowing his real job, and he accepts so he can investigate the situation. Dan induces the miners to send their gold to Prescott as mail shipments via the stage. Knowing that a successful robbery will lose the mail contract for the McKay line, Elliott plans to have Lait rob the safe that night. Elliott comes to the office, gets the gold from the safe and ties up Lait to make it look convincing, and has the stage barn and stables set afire. Dan rescues the stage from the fire and forces Lait to tell him where Elliott's henchmen took the money.

Genres: Comedy, Music, Romance,Him, well he's broken jawed,
Had enough of making laws
Fueled, but he cannot save, lost the power to touch us
Getting fixed up on the street, it's easy when you've
got no feet
Give that another day
I'm sorry now, I've lost my point of view
But I'm happy to be with you
So glad I swam through your ocean
Oh thrilled that I found you
But it's not love that brings me down
Shuffle hard, bite the lust,
your money's long and lip is fat
Face cracks in the wind but not so bad for southern
white
He loves pain, shoot it up, get it on in Salvador
I heard a baby calling out, but it doesn't carry across
the sea
But I'm so happy to be with you
So glad I swam through your ocean
Oh thrilled that I found you
But it's not love that brings me down
Get drunk, get stoned,
happy eyes are blinkered eyes
Face good, in the crowd, someone else is no one else
Fingers first, when you dig in shit
Soft and warm as a baby's skin
Sleep a while, in a dawn trance
This is the creature so happy to be with you
So glad I swam through your ocean
Oh thrilled that I found you
